I want to know how come you don't see anybody's "signature" when you view their profiles? I love that feature so you can see what's going on with their cases, and where they are in the process.

Is anybody else having this problem.

For now I would suggest the My Story text area. That is available there.

Looks way to complicated to me, why is there a huge gap at the top of the page.

I give up whats all this stuff on the left Insert hell no.

Can some one please make it easier to work out I need a guide book lol:)

have you tried clearing your browser?

I have no gap or anything like that....

I updated the first post in this topic to give more details on ways to purge your browser cache.

I am wondering if it is related to the new conversion, but when I leave the site and return, I have to log in again, yet I have the box "remember me" toggled. Is there a problem with my system or is this something that needs to be resolved?

i've noticed tht too. although for me it is between home and work sessions.

i purposely left this site and came back to see if it logged me out automatically. it did not.

firefox at home. ie at work.

They're the friends that are on your list that also have you on their list!

what exactly are mutual friends?

sounds like a "break-up" term to me

[Sonshyne 2]

Updated various icons (that I missed) and fixed some color issues (had some purple some place that should have been blue).

I am having problems with the font, sizes, and colors. I just learne how to use them, but since the new change... I can't figure it out

prior to the upgrade, there was a box marked "PM" on every post made by someone. it made it easier to pm someone but now one has to go to their profile, open it up and so on and so forth. is it possible to have that feature restored?

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

CLick on their name and on the pull down tab is a PM Option . Same speed just different location (hidden to a degree) :-p.

Good to hear I'm not the only one missing being able to view signatures in people's profiles (I had to switch off signatures etc at work because, for some unfathomable reason, pages were only half-loading until I did that, and my browser kept freezing up)... forgive me for being dense, but I've looked and can't find the "My Story" text area. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

its on the left side of the profile - its called OUR STORY though. I actually had to turn on the signatures to view something and turned them right back off. /ugh i find them so annoying, and its a pain to have to turn them on and back off again through 'my controls'.

Aha! I can see the 'our story' bit now (thank you ), but can't see any signature-type stuff anywhere, still. So I think I misunderstood something somewhere along the line! And yep, I've done that a couple of times - turned signatures back on to see if I'm missing anything that's visible to everyone else, then turned them right off again! It was great being able to click on someone's profile to see their signature - I didn't realise quite how great until the function disappeared!

Re: related topics

I use this feature a lot because searches often do not bring me to where I expect to be. However, I can find what I am looking for by clicking related topics and clicking those related on the next page and so on until I arrive at the answer to my original question. When I asked a question about how to renew passports when not in Canada (that never got answered as far as I know), I found the answer on my own by using the related posts feature. If this feature is gone, then I will have to resort to asking the same annoying questions repeatedly and bothering all the non-new members (see the posts under the topic with a heading something like "Newbies really bug me. Can we have them go to a forum just for them?" or something of that tone [found it: "Filtering New Member Questions."]).

Re: slow-loading signatures

I just hit "stop" at the top of my browser. The posts will still load, but all the animations won't. If you use IE, you can go into the advanced tab of tools and prevent animations, videos and all that junk from loading anywhere, not just VJ. I haven't figured out how to do it yet with Firefox.

Also, it's just plain lucky that you can keep up with VJ at work. I am locked out of all sites except wikipedia and dictionary.com---oh, and the company website, of course (to which I have no access because I have no password because I haven't been there long enough to have been given a password).

I have Firefox set to clear everything every time that I close the browser so cache clearing is never an issue.

Dunno if I have written anything useful, but I'm going now.

I will work on adding all the features you guys described above soon. Related Topics, Adding Signature to profile view, etc. .

Related Topics was very helpful to find answers, especially if someone can't utilize the search features.
